Who's being the bigger brat?

DH and I are in the works of leasing a car. It would be our second vehicle from a junky 10 yo car we already have. We've found one we liked and were ready to make everything final tomorrow. He will use it half the time to commute to work so he wont go over the mileage. He calls me tonight while at work and said he'd like to get something that's a manual transmission because he "misses it". I do not know how to drive stick and I'd be verrry scared to do it on a lease. So I told him it's not a good idea because then when he's not using the new car I won't even have the option of using it until he takes the time to teach me to drive. He told me it's HIS car and HE wants a stick. What a brat. SO, should I eat some humble pie and let him get the stick, or is he being an ass?

I prefer a stick too but had to give it up because DH isn't comfortable driving one. If your DH was going to be the only one driving it that would be one thing, but if you've already agreed to share the car then he need to compromise. So he's the brat.

My dh dreamed abotu a manual oo. I let him rent one once when we were on vacation. He got sick of HAVING to drive everywhere cos i cant drive stick. O honey, i think i'll have another glass of wine since you are driving tonight

I respond to brattiness with brattiness plus 1, so I would "let him" get HIS car and then promptly take HIS car out and grind the crap out the gears until I taught myself to drive in HIS CAR...and then he can get a new clutch in HIS car...Needless to say, my husband does not pull this kind of thing on me.
